Ship it!
A downloadable game for Windows
THE CLOCK IS TICKING!
You have 90 seconds.
Your game needs features.
The bugs want blood.
Ship It is a chaotic top-down arcade game where you are a lone developer
rushing against time. Gather up scattered feature fragments to your game while
holding off a constantly increasing swarm of bugs, all while avoiding a
decrease in build quality.
🛠 HOW IT WORKS
- Gather up fragments from your local area
- Defend your ship while fragments are committed
- Finished features unlock more possible development
- Survive the swarm
⚠️ BUT WATCH OUT
- More committed fragments = more bugs
- Bugs attack your ship, and you can't see them most of the time
- Threat arrows at the edge of your screen warn you of threats closing in
💰 AFTER EACH RUN
Spend Revenue to buy permanent Upgrades:
- Increased speed
- Increased damage to bug elimination
- Turret QA defenses for the ship
- Increase "backpack" size (hold/transport more at once)
Buy all the things, and advance to phases from Prototype, to Vertical Slice, to Production, to finally SHIP.
